A rant : Magic (possibly Spirituality to)

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Sadly, you missed the opportunity to help out another board member with their thoughts, in order to stir up shit.

Nice going.

Looking back, that's really all he ever does.

so you say.

EDIT: Cause looking at this thread; a group was having a conversation... you came in to stir shit. Not that I mind, its fun watching you do your thing.

So, voicing an opinion is "stirring shit" and deliberately trolling is "having a conversation".

I see.

Nope,. the conversation that was in full swing before you stopped by with QUANTUMZ one liners wasn't trolling at all... Hell, even the past several pages haven't been trolling, not in any sense of the word. I mean, unless anything short of not responding to you is a troll...

When I said "I'll be happy to entertain them while they're here" I meant that I'd be happy to respond to your posts to maximize the lulz... However, I wasn't trolling, I was mostly hoping you'd get bored so we could go back to the discussion we were having before.

But, see it however you like.

Okay, fuck off now.  I liked you better when you were honest.

Whatever Roger... you can read back through the thread and imagine all of my posts are trolls and yours are somehow valuable contributions.

It's Magic.

No worries, TGRR and I have lovers quarrels all the time.

to be honest I kind of liked this bit:

The monkeys also retreat to laboratories to beat on hollow logs hoping they will yield some way to reliably make the complexities of the universe go away.  Many of the complexities of the universe DO go away.  Many more complexities are revealed.

because it's true. not for proper scientists of course, but from my days in the university I've seen enough "scientists" behave like that. they do want the universe to "behave", and when it doesn't it annoys them to no end and some tend to look the other way.

As long as there is grant money riding on the outcome it's pretty hard to be a  proper scientist.  Not that they don't exist.  They just tend not to be on salary.

depends on where you are and what you are researching, I guess.

Yes, of course.  Apollo 11 reached the moon on pixie dust.  Silly me.

Bullshit. I, and the other graduate students in my department with research assistantships, are evidence.

Of course there are examples to the contrary.  But still,  the discovery that chocolate is natures most perfect food coming from an independent testing lab in Hershey Pennsylvania doesn't really have the smell of  untainted research.

So it is your assertion that most scientists are hopelessly corrupt?

Yeah, but dont the assistants do ALL the work anyway?

It's not a scientific assertion, it's only an anecdotal implication.

Research assistantship simply means we get paid to do research. This is as opposed to a teaching assistantship where we get paid to teach.

But only anecdotal.
